Hi,

We are new to camping and are looking to buy our first tent.  We have two children age 6 & 3.

We have seen the Vango Maritsa and like the enclosed porch area for this tent but have not seen any others with this seperate enclosed area.  Are there any alternatives which we should look at?

We were considering the 6 berth Maritsa to give us a bit more space.

Many Thanks

Kampa are doing a tent with a very similar design - may be worth a look (excellent brand, but produce in smaller numbers than Vango so not found everywhere):

Have a look at the tents on "Norwich Camping" website to give you an idea of whats available. I wouldnt go for anything less than a 6 berth tent for 2 adults and 2 children also have a look at the tent review section

I came very close to buying an Outwell Glendale 5 at the NEC show last week: http://www.outwell.dk/en/Products/TentsTarpsWindscreens/Tents/Deluxe/Glendale5.aspx

Looking at it now I'm still very tempted!

We have been looking round and always come back to the maritsa 700 due to the space in the living area and also the porch area for cooking and its seperate from the living area and has ground sheet too so makes it better !!  we also have 2 children 7 years and 3 years and a dog.

camping and loving it.
